Ground Zero Mosque - Tolerance, Racism or Comedy?

It is an illustration in playing favorites. Are the same people suggesting that we open the same types of businesses near churches or synagogues in order to promote "tolerance"? Of course not.I remember a while back that there was a speaker who said that the "new atheists" shouldn't act like dicks. Perhaps the theists should take that to heart as well.

If you replaced "mosque" with "jewish synagogue" is it still funny? Or replace "mosque" with "christian day care". Is it still funny?If the only source of humor is the fact that it is muslims being made fun of then I fail to see the humor.

If Richard Dawkins tried to open a sex shop next to a prominent Baptist church in Atlanta, GA do you think christians would just laugh it off as Dawkins trying to promote religious tolerance?Just look at the christian film coming out in the near future. They demonize a fictional atheist for making people take down religious signage at City Hall. Personally, I believe all humor should contain a large dose of self-deprecation. A good roast allows insults to flow both ways. I really don't see that here.
